BOGOTA, COLOMBIA — ''Drug Enforcement in Colombia. The Problem.'' That was the title of a document published Friday in El Espectador. The newspaper said the report was sent by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to Colombia's Justice Ministry. The document, published as a photocopy, asserted Colombia is not really trying to catch major drug traffickers. A source in the U.S. Embassy verified the document as authentic but denied that it was from the DEA. U.S. officials have praised Colombian efforts against the drug trade in public speeches and interviews.
